Seems reasonable to make that use the bulk interface as well and this
would look better in its own patch.

Given the effort put in to conclude that there must be some parenthesis
there, I agree that "assume" might be to weak of a word...

Looking at the specification again and I don't see anything prohibiting
from writing 0 in the PRE_DIV register, and writing a 0 to the register
causes no visual on my backlight from writing 1.

Per our new understanding this should probably have resulted in a period
of 0. That said, if the formula from the datasheet was correct then we'd
have a period T_pwm (given T_ref as refclk pulse length) of:

T_pwm = T_ref * (div * scale + 1)

And with div = 0 we'd have:

T_pwm = T_ref * 1

Which wouldn't give any room for adjusting the duty cycle, and I can
still do that. So that's not correct either.

Unfortunately I still don't want to dismantle my working laptop, so I
don't know if I can do any better than this. Perhaps they do the typical
trick of encoding prediv off-by-1 and the PWM duty is off by a factor
of 2. Perhaps the comparator for the prediv counter trips at 1 even
though the register is configured at 0...

Yes, that seems more likely.

As described above, I'm trying to find suitable values for PRE_DIV and
BACKLIGHT_SCALE in:

T_pwm * refclk_freq
--------------------- = PRE_DIV * (BACKLIGHT_SCALE + 1)
NSEC_PER_SEC

BACKLIGHT_SCALE must fit in 16 bits and in order to be useful for
driving the backlight control be large enough that the resolution
(BACKLIGTH = [0..BACKLIGHT_SCALE]) covers whatever resolution
pwm-backlight might expose.

For the intended use case this seems pretty good, but I presume you
could pick better values to get closer to the requested period.

Do you have a better suggestion for how to pick PRE_DIV and
BACKLIGHT_SCALE?

When we write the backlight register above, we cap it at scale, so for
the typical case that shouldn't happen.

So I guess the one case when this could happen is if we get_state()
before pwm_apply(), when someone else has written broken values
(reset values are scale = 0xff and backlight = 0)
